Jura runs along a narrow limestone band between Burgundy and the Alps. Savagnin is central, especially in Vin Jaune, which ages under a veil of yeast called voile. Chardonnay appears in topped-up mineral wines and oxidative styles. Poulsard and Trousseau make pale reds with spice, earth and lift. Arbois is the broadest name, Château-Chalon is closely tied to Vin Jaune, L'Étoile is a small white-wine pocket, and Côtes du Jura covers much of the wider range.
